Chapter 1 A new school

Kings high school... Georgia

The Principal (Mr Lawrence) walked furiously into the senior class with two other teachers behind him, the students hushed immediately he entered the class

"Where's Daniel?" He asked

"What did that prankster do this time" Lucky (Daniel's brother) murmured, chewing gum cutely

The students murmured amongst each other

"What did he do this time around"

"Hope he didn't kill"

"What prank did he play again"

"He was in class early today"

"I didn't ask for murmurs, can someone give me a straight answer!, Where's Daniel O'Brien! " Mr Lawrence shouted at the top of his voice again

Jennifer (Daniel's younger sis) stood up

"He was in school in the morning but right now he's not here" she replied

"Do you know what your brother did again?, The scum poured glue on Mrs Grace's desk and if not that we detected it quickly, her hands would have stick to the desk by now" Mr Lawrence said , anger emanating from his voice

" And that's because she made mistake on my assignment" Daniel replied, stepping into the class , wearing a hoodie with a cap on top of his school uniform

"Handsome devil is here"

"How can he manage to b" handsome and cute at the same time"

"I'm even in love with his troubles"

"Daniel O'Brien!, Till when will you continue to make my blood boil!" Mr Lawrence said, coming closer to him

"I never get 99, she gave me 99 when I obviously got all my assignments right" Daniel replied, he went to his table and brought out his book

He put it on the table

Mrs Grace took it and checked

"He's true, he got 100, I must have made a mistake by marking one wrong" Mrs Grace said

" Even at that, you have no right to do what you did, go kneel at the disciplinary office" Mr Lawrence ordered

" Not even in your dreams Mr" Daniel replied and bit his lower lip before dashing out of the class

"Get him!" Mr Lawrence shouted and started coughing as a result of how he shouted

Two of the guys in class ran after him

"I don't know why God decided to make troubles my hobby" Daniel thought as he ran and smiled

He jumped down the senior class block and continued running, he bumped into a teacher and they fell together

"I love you Mr Gregory" he said and pecked him before standing up to continue running again

"Jerk!" Mr Gregory muttered

He later ran out of the school to find somewhere to rest

He'll later go back to school when the Principal would have calmed down but he's sure the news would have gotten to his parents right now

Mr O'Brien held his chest as he received the email from the Principal

He fell on the couch heavily

"Honey, I think we're destined to go to heaven before our time" he said

Jessica his wife rushed downstairs

" I told you not to talk like that again countless times, what's it again?" She asked

" Just look at this email Principal Lawrence just sent me" he said, showing her.

Jessica held her forehead

" Oh my God, my blood is at the boiling point already cos of him, I'm fed up" she said, bending over to her knees

"do you now understand what I mean?, I really don't know how to go about him again, are you sure he's really my child?" Mr O'Brien said and Jessica rolled eyes at him

" No, he's not, I picked him from the streets, useless talk" she replied and went upstairs

" Woman, don't get upset, I'm getting frustrated so unintended speeches is allowed, it's Tuesday tommorow, thankfully he's not going to school, I won't hear any heartbreaking news, oh my" Mr O'Brien said , sitting down

" Are you saying you're happy with how he goes to school just three days in a week?, What kind of student goes to school only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, oh God O'Brien are you serious right now?" Jessica said, coming downstairs again

"try to understand Jessica, he doesn't go to school on Tuesday and Thursday and yet it's like this, think of when he starts going to school for five full days in a week, then we'll become prematurely old with his reports" O'Brien replied

"you know what?, Ion know again, it's getting out of hand and if it goes on like this, I might have to consider disowning him" Jessica joked

"I know that was a joke" O'Brien replied

" Just wait till I lose it completely" Jessica answered

Asheville high school,

South Carolina

Sofia sat gently on her seat and kept her head down

She has cried enough and is not ready to cry again but won't hesitate to do so if any word of insult comes from the students again

The mathematics teacher came in, her most dreaded subject

She shifted uncomfortably on her seat as the lecturer started

After the teacher solved some of the questions in which she understood none....

He wrote a question on the board and faced the class

"Who can solve this question?' he asked

Many students raised up their hands but the devil decided to disgrace Sofia when the teacher pointed at her upon the whole that she didn't raise her hand

Her heart skipped a beat

"I...I..I have no idea sir" she replied fearfully and the students laughed at her

" I just solved three questions of this type and when I asked if there's anyone who doesn't understand, you never signified, and now to solve that kind of question is a problem, why do you even bother coming to school?" The teacher said

Tears came out of her eyes and dropped on her book on the table

"And now stop shedding those crocodile tears, it won't help your life, all you need to do is to stop wasting your time coming to school, you'll be better as a bead seller" the teacher said and the students laughed out loud again

He distributed some assignments before leaving the class

The class bullies gathered around Sofia as she kept standing, bowing her head in shame

"So you see the teacher even knows what's good for you, you're a disgrace to this school cos of your cow brain" a particular one said

More tears came out of her eyes

"dullard, Dumbo, zero brain, and you're only partially beautiful"

"Partially beautiful my foot, she's not close to it"

"I know right?, Was just joking"

In the next minute, something landed on her hair

She looked up with her teary eyes and felt it, it's cream

"That's my expired cream, I think I don't have to litter my bin at home since i have a waste bin in my class, you're nothing but a waste bin" another one said

The whole class started throwing things at her, books, juice cans, papers and all others.

She never bothered to cover herself, she just cried at her miserable life

They did all that and she took her bag silently

"Leave our school!, You're a disgrace to Asheville high school!"

" Just go!, Dullard!"

She left the class in tears and ran out of the school

She ran all the way into the streets

Her home is not so far from school, she got home and dashed past her dad and mum in the living room

She entered her room and threw herself on the ground

"Why is my life so miserable?, No matter how much I read I only get a little , I've been enduring all the bullying but I don't think I can anymore

"So dullards are trash?, Dullards are waste bins, and the maths teacher said I'll be better as a bead seller, why is life so unfair" she said amidst her tears

She stared at her picture on the wall and stood

She took it off the wall and looked at it intently

"You're trash aren't you?, You're a waste bin!" She screamed and smashed it on the ground

Her parents rushed in

"Sofia!" Her mum (Rose) shouted and ran to hold her

"Just now you ran past us in the living room with tears in your eyes and your uniform disfigured even your hair is all a mess, and now you're here breaking your frame and still crying?" She said, looking at her

" Mum, I'm a waste bin aren't I?"

"Who told you that?" Rose said

" I'm trash and I'm better off as a bead seller, I don't deserve to go to school and I'm not close to beautiful" she said

" Who said all that?" Rose said

" Isn't it obvious?, Her classmates are at it again, even I am tired of her dumbness, I think she inherited your brain, I was so brainy back then in school but you're being useless like your classmates said" Mr Dylan said

" That was harsh Dylan!, All she needs is our words of encouragement" Rose snapped

"I'm saying the truth anyways, and I don't think any word of encouragement can open a dead Brain" he replied and left

"Hear that?, my brain is dead mum, I'm not going to school again, the harsh words are too much, mum I want to quit school!" She said

Rose wiped her tears

" My Princess,you don't need that, your dad has been transferred to the Georgia, we're moving to Georgia on Friday, maybe if you change school, it'll die down" she said, hugging her tight

Georgia

The family is eating dinner already when Daniel entered the house this evening

"So after almost giving me hypertension with another report from school, now you have the nerves to come back home" Mr O'Brien said

" Watssup daddy" Daniel said, picking one from his plate of steak

"You little...

Mr O'Brien choked before finishing the statement and Dan offered him water

He took it and gulped it down

"Just what kind of a child are you" Jessica said

"Fucking devil" Lucky said

" Shut the fuck up!" Dan snapped

"and I personally think he's worse than the devil, handsome devil, isn't that your nickname in school?" Jenny said and stick out her tongue

" You'll pay for that" he said and went upstairs

"God is not being fair, why do I have to be in same class with my junior brother and sister" Damian said, standing up

" What difference?, You're nineteen, Dan is eighteen and I'm seventeen, still better, I personally think you should still be in the junior class" Jenny said and winked before leaving the table

" Come back here!" Lucky shouted after her and ran upstairs too

"Should we sell them?" Jessica asked

Mr O'Brien laughed out loud at that

Next week Monday

"I can't find my favorite book, "MY COLD HEARTED BOSS"..who the heck took it!" Jenny shouted after finishing dressing up for school

She came out of her room and met Dan just at the the front of her room, smiling while pointing up the book, he's all dressed for school too

"That's mine!" She shouted and tried to collect it but he pointed it up, he's much taller than her so it's impossible to grab it

"Remember I told you I'll punish you for talking rashly to me last week Monday, this is it,bye" He said and ran out

Jenny followed, running too

"You know how much I suffered before getting that book, give it back!" She shouted as she ran after him

Dan bumped into his dad at the living room as he ran

They fell together

He pecked his cheek

It's his habit since he started being troublesome, he pecks anyone he bumps into and say he loves them

And luckily he hasn't bumped into any girl since his escapades

"Love you Daddy" he said and stood, he ran out of the house

Jenny followed, running

"My God!, Honey I'm dying!" O'Brien shouted, still lying on the ground

Jessica came out of the bathroom in only her towel with soap allover her body

"What happened?"

"It's your children at it again" he replied, standing up

Jessica hit him playfully before going back into the bathroom

Lucky smirked at his crazy family

"Gosh, I'm getting fed up of everyone" he thought before getting out to go to school..

Sofia fidgeted as her mum drove her to her new school this morning

They moved to Georgia since Friday and she kind of liked the atmosphere here than that of the South Carolina

She was enrolled in the school on Saturday and she can still remember the principal's words after seeing her performance in her former school

"I hope you'll be able to cope" that's what Mr Lawrence had said

She got down in front of the school

"Princess, have a good first day at school ok" Rose said

" Ok mum" she replied as her mum drove off

She has been given her map and class schedule since Saturday so she has no problem

But to enter the school is what's making her fidget

"If my classmates know I'm a dullard who has nothing upstairs, I'll be dead" she thought

She closed her eyes for a while before going in

She kept her head down

She managed to get to her class and a teacher is teaching already

"The new student?" He asked

She nodded as she came in fully

"introduce yourself"

"I'm Sofia Dylan, I hope to have a good stay here" she said , facing the ground

" You can sit beside Dan" the teacher said

She didn't even look up

Her face is down till she got to the seat

"Is she a drama queen?" Abel asked himself when he noticed her face down

She sat without looking around

Throughout the class, she listened without looking up and got nothing as usual

Luckily she wasn't Called to answer any question

Dan left the class Immediately after the class

"Totally out of my taste, I hate shy girls" Lucky thought

She suddenly stood up and left the class too

She walked hurriedly to the base of the block and stayed there

"I'm sure I'm gonna get caught as a dullard soon, what do I do?" She thought

Ten minutes later

The Principal rushed into the senior class with Mr Lorenzo

"I think I'll have to cancel this class, it's either Dan leaves this school for me or I leave it for him, now where's he?' Mr Lawrence asked

"You should have known by now that he doesn't come to class Immediately after playing a prank, what did that dude do again?" Lucky asked, chewing gum as usual

" Last week Monday it was glue, Wednesday it was sand in Mrs Sandra's handbag , Friday it was raw rice in my office and right now.... it's needle on Mr Lorenzo's seat, how can he be so so stubborn" Mr Lawrence complained

"even we are fed up at home" Jenny said frustratedly, he still has not given her her book

"find him and bring him to my office" Mr Lawrence ordered

Three guys left the class to look for him

" They keep chasing him even when they know they'll never catch up, how lame" Lucky said

Dan snuck out of his hiding place and smiled

"Mr Lorenzo has always been a jerk, how dare he make passes at me, am I the reason he became gay? " He thought

" Dan! " One of the guys sent out to catch him shouted with two others behind him

"Catch me if you can" he said and bit his lower lip before starting to run

They Chased him and he ran happily

He jumped off the block as usual

It collided with the time Sofia is coming back to class

He bumped into her and without noticing she's a girl, he pecked her cheek like he does to anyone he bumps into

"I love....

Sofia faced him in surprise

His eyes widened that it's a girl, the new girl

He stared at her in awe for a while before standing up

He ran off after giving her a final glance

Sofia touched her cheek as the chasers ran past her

"He just... pecked me, who's he?" she thought, touching her cheeks and obviously blushing.
